Hi, I’m Rahat
I’m the kind of designer who can’t sit still - literally. Whether it’s twisting, turning, or taking things apart, I thrive on fidgeting with the world around me. From dismantling gadgets to experimenting with materials, no object is too sacred to be reimagined. This playful curiosity is the engine behind my design process, transforming everyday moments into opportunities for innovation, problem-solving, and a little bit of fun.
Driven by a love for experimentation and a deep desire to solve real problems, I’m a hands-on product designer whose approach blends sustainability, form exploration, and technical making. From 3D printing to prototyping, I like to learn by doing, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. I’m particularly fascinated by how things work, always eager to dig deeper, dissect, and transform ideas into practical solutions.
Inspiration often strikes from the simplest things like observing, questioning, and finding new ways to translate everyday experiences into purposeful designs. Sustainability is woven into the fabric of my work, influencing decisions about function, materials, and product lifecycle.
While my work has been recognised with a few awards, it’s the ongoing journey of learning, tinkering, and discovery that truly drives me.
